Boxy Boy, known in Japan as Souko Ban Deluxe (倉庫番 DELUXE) is an arcade game released by Namco in 1990. It is based on the Sokoban game series by Thinking Rabbit.
The player must push the blocks onto the gray dots. The game starts out rather easy but becomes completely impossible to beat at level 'H.' To this day there is no record of anyone winning the level and there is no comment from the company as to the later levels or even the completion of the game. Some say the dreaded level 'H' is simply an exercise in futility and a subtle attempt by lazy game developers to release a product ahead of schedule and under budget.

Soukoban Deluxe is an arcade game published by Namco for release in the arcades in 1990. It is a graphically enhanced implementation of the, by then, eight year old Japanese puzzle game phenomenon. It is the first (and so far only) implementation of Soukoban officially released in arcades. While featuring all of the rules of regular Soukoban, it also features a timer that determined how quickly you must solve the current puzzle before you are kicked off the machine. Even if you decide that you need to start the level over, the time that you've lost remains lost. If you run out of time, you can enter another credit to continue the level over with a full timer. Although the series was never hugely popular in the United States, Namco released the game overseas under the name Boxy Boy. It has no direct relation to the TurboGrafx-16 game known as Boxyboy, which is known in Japan as Soukoban World.
